The main purpose of the current study is to examine the construct, convergent and discriminant validity of the Sources of Mathematics Self-Efficacy Scale (Usher & Pajares, 2009) in a Turkish sample. Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory (1986) served as the theoretical framework for the current study. According to Bandura (1986), people's…

There is increasing realization that mathematics-related self-efficacy expectations are a strong predictor of an array of significant mathematics outcomes. It is also evident that the curricular practice in schools largely neglects development of a student understanding in the unique language of mathematics. Consequently, this study probes how…

The aim of the study was to examine the effect of the educational practice including growth-mindset strategies on the self-efficacy, self-regulation, academic achievement and mind development scores of 8th grade students who are continuing their secondary education in Turkey. In order to examine the effect of the use of growth-mindset strategies…

The aim of the present study was to investigate the development of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) and Web 2.0 self-efficacy beliefs (W2SEB) and to determine the relationship between them for middle school pre-service mathematics teachers through their involvement in a course designed using a Web 2.0 tools. To achieve this aim,…

For many years the need to educate and support our teachers to implement science and mathematics education has been ongoing throughout the world (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2019; Mundry et al., 2009). In more recent years, this call has extended to include teaching through integrated science, technology,…

STEM, the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics is increasingly being promoted in elementary education. However, elementary educators are largely untrained in the 21st century skills of computing (a subset of technology) and engineering. The purpose of this study was to better understand elementary teachers'…
